The Tigers win game two in the series against the KC Royals. The Tigers won both games convincingly, 12-3 on Monday and 9-1 on Tuesday.

Aside from the fifth straight victory for the Tigs, Johnny Damon has refused to go to another team and will remain in a Tiger uniform for the remainder of the season. The Tiger's Brandon Inge acquired his 1,000th hit as a Tiger as well.

Among all of Tueday's news, the Tigers have also picked themselves from below .500; their record now stands at 63-63.

The Tigers finish off the series Wednesday before going on an 11-day road trip. They'll travel first to Toronto, then to Minnesota, and finally they'll be playing KC. The Tigers return to Comerica Park on September 6, when they'll face the Chicago White Sox in a 4-game series.
